Tnterlocal Agreement Between the City of Boynton Beach and the

Stephen Sills, Principal of Congress F4iddle School, thanked the Mayor and
Commissioners for their support of Congress Middle School. One year ago, the School Board
approved magnet school status for Congress Middle School. The math/science/technology
school will begin in August, 1998 for all students from Grade 6 through Grade 8. Mr. Sills
thanked Commissioner and Nrs. Bradley for their consistent support.
Nayor Taylor said all of the Commissioners share Mr. Sills' feelings about Commissioner Bradley
because of his involvement with education in this community. Nayor Taylor vowed to review
and consider the interlocal agreement that was presented this evening.
Commissioner Bradley is excited about this feeder system coming to fruition. Nany members of
the community worked very hard on Poinciana School, and it is a world-class school. He is
confident this will happen for Congress Middle School because Mr. Sills is at the helm.
4. Presentation by Virginia Farace to Commissioner F4att Bradley
Virginia Farace, Library Director, felt it was appropriate to recognize, and to say thank you,
farewell and good bye to Commissioner Bradley. Commissioner Bradley has devoted the last

of Directors wanted to take this opportunity to thank Commissioner Bradley for his leadership in
the Chamber's organization and City endeavors. Commissioner Bradley withdrew from the
Chamber's Chairman-elect position when he was elected to serve the citizens of Boynton Beach.
However, he continued his support and active role in Chamber endeavors. He was a strong

Commisioner Jaskiewicz expressed concern about the amount of money being expended on this
project that might present ongoing mold and mildew problems in the future. She reminded the
Commissioners that there was agreement long ago that they wanted appropriate contract
amounts at the time of approval and would not tolerate change orders. This project is costing a
tremendous amount of money and the City will still have an old building. She questioned
whether it would be more appropriate to bulldoze this building and construct a new building
with these funds.

Vice Mayor Titcomb added that it appears a great deal of time was spent doing tasks outside
the scope of the contract. He expressed this concern to the City Manager.
Mayor Taylor shared the Commissioners' concerns. When the contract for this clean up was
approved, he assumed the cost covered the total work involved. A few weeks ago, it was
determined that the air conditioning system would have to be replaced, and it appears the next
request will be to replace the roof. He is concerned about the amount of money this project is
costing and questions how much we want to invest.
Wilfred Hawkins, Manager of Support Services, explained that everything the contractors have
done to date has been included in the scope of tasks. The air conditioning system is being
cleaned rather than replaced. It was not included in the language of the contract because we
could not get into the system to inspect it until it was under containment. Once the system was
under containment, we learned it could be cleaned. Mr. Hawkins does not know if a new
building could be constructed with the funds that are being expended. However, he pointed
out that even if the pistol range was demolished, it would have to be done under containment,
and we would pay a high cost for disposal of contaminated material. Staff views the roof
situation as a different project from the lead abatement. We now know how to abate the lead
in the future. The leaking roof must be addressed.
When Commissioner Jaskiewicz questioned whether there is any relation between the air
conditioning system and the roof leaks, Mr. DeBeck responded negatively and advised that the
leaks are minor in nature. The direct source of the leaks has not yet been determined. The
building is due for caulking and repainting. No roof failures were found when Transcoastal
inspected it. While the air conditioning equipment is off the roof, the coating, caps and holes
are being inspected to determine whether there are any penetrations in those locations. Some
joints have been found that indicate holes and cracks. Those items will be caulked and sealed.
Vice Mayor Titcomb asked if D&] Industries is involved in both the lead abatement program and
all other work items, iVlr. Hawkins responded negatively and advised that they are separate
companies.
In response to Commissioner .laskiewicz, Mr. DeBeck advised that the roof is just under eight
years old and it has a ten-year warranty. If there is any problem, repairs will be made under
warranty.
Motion
Commissioner 3askiewicz moved to approve ]Item "H". She expressed her hope that this is the
final approval for this project. Vice Mayor Titcomb seconded the motion that carried 5-0.

Vi'. PUBLI'C AUDTENCE:
Marshall Friedland, 330 NE 26th Avenue. commended Mark Law and .~ohn Guidry for their
assistance in remediating the flooding problem on Victoria Boulevard by cleaning the traps
every month.
Gary Fishman, Diane Drive, said the problem of speeding still exists in his neighborhood and
is being brought to the forefront because of BE Aerospace's request for a zoning change. Such
a zoning change cannot be reversed. This neighborhood needs speed humps. The residents of
this area appreciate the City's support, but they are aware that they will lose the fight with
respect to the rezoning of BE Aerospace. The residents feel a separate access is necessary for
BE Aerospace because of the truck traffic and speeders. Mr. Fishman spoke to one CounLy
Commissioner who agreed that a separate entrance is needed. However, that Commissioner
will not vote against her fellow Commissioners on this issue.
Beverly Caruso is frightened for her children. If seven acres are rezoned, there will be
staggered shifts and more traffic. All of the cars run the stop sign at BE Aerospace. She asked
for clarification of this issue.
Mayor Taylor explained that a meeting was held with representatives of BE Aerospace, the
County, City officials, the Business Development Board, and Quantum Park to try to find a "win-
win" solution. Since BE Aerospace is successful, the City suggested they investigate the
possibility of moving to Quantum Park. BE Aerospace denied any thoughts of expanding, and
has no intention of moving the plant. They are attempting to rezone three-quarters of an acre.
The County has placed stipulations on the approval so that BE Aerospace cannot make any
changes to the outside of the house or build anything else on the property. The only other
alternative the City recommends is an access from Lake ]:da park over a finger canal. This
would require a two-lane bridge. That would provide a separate access for BE Aerospace and
give the County access to their park that is currently landlocked.
During the meeting, BE Aerospace confirmed that they would not oppose a new ingress/egress.
However, they did not indicate they would help pay for it. Mayor Taylor believes this should be
investigated to see if State grant funding is available to help build the road. The City of
Boynton Beach has written a letter to Commissioner Lee requesting that she contact the County
Engineering Department to get cost estimates and data on the feasibility of building that road.
The City understands the concerns of the community and can monitor the traffic in the area.
He recommended that the residents do everything they can between now and March 26th when
the County will vote on this issue. He urged the residents to work with Commissioner Lee and
to express their concerns to all Commissioners. He explained that it will be necessary for the
residents to convince the Commissioners that there is a solution to this problem.
Vice Mayor Titcomb agreed that the only solution to this problem might be the construction of
the road to the south. He explained that it would take money, lobbying and many voices
fighting for this road.

MARCH 3, 1998
Commissioner Bradley suggested that Mayor Taylor raise this issue at the Multi-Jurisdictional
Tssues Forum.
3ack Wolfe, President of Boynton Lakes Homeowners' Association, addressed the
Commissioners on behalf of the residents of 102 single-family homes. These homes are mostly
owned and inhabited by senior citizens who are not wealthy. When the development was built,
the developer planted 64 Ficus trees and 400 other types of trees. The community is
experiencing problems with the Ficus trees. Mr. Wolfe said Ficus trees can no longer be planted
in the City of Boynton Beach because of their destructive qualities. The residents would like to
remove the Ficus trees and replace them with native trees such as Palms, Live Oaks,
Buttonwoods, etc. Once the fee for removal of the trees is established, the community must
replace the tree at a cost that is double that fee. Tn this case, the cost of removal of the trees
is $225 per tree. Therefore, it would cost the $450 to remove and replace each of the 64
existing Ficus trees. This would amount to a $300 per family assessment. The residents
cannot afford this bill. Mr. Wolfe requested that the City allow this community to replace these
trees with native trees (Buttonwoods and Palm trees) over a period of a few years.
]:n response to Mayor Taylor, Attorney Cherof advised that there might be some inequity in the
formula the Code provides where you must match the value of the new tree to the value of the
removal. He offered to review this section of the Code to see if there is any flexibility in the
language.
Henrietta Solomon, 230 NE 26th Avenue, feels immorality and lack of ethics has permeated
this City. She has learned that the Mayor sent out a political letter asking people to vote for
unlimited terms of office. The Mayor is aware that a disclaimer is required on political
advertisements. :In addition, City funds were used to do this. Ms. Solomon said she is aware
that it is permissible for the City to send out information on issues on the ballot. However, the
City cannot send out a letter telling people how to vote. Since City money was used, City
stationery should have been used. She questioned who authorized the use of this money, and
hoped the other Commissioners were informed of this action and agreed with it. Ms. Solomon
said the reason people want term limits has nothing to do with whether or not this Commission
is doing a good job. Ms. Solomon recommended that the Mayor send out a letter to the same
people who received the first mailing excusing himself to them and explaining his error. She
feels the Mayor should pay for that mailing and repay the City for the first mailing.
Attorney Cherof advised that he received a number of comments on this subject today. The
publication in question is an informational document generated by the City and signed by the
Mayor. ]:t is within the parameters permitted for providing information to the public regarding
the referendum. :It is not directed and does not urge anyone to vote for or against. Attorney
Cherof reviewed the document and it is clearly within the parameters permitted under law and
expressed by the Supreme Court in the case involved in Leon County dealing with the same
type of subject matter.
Ms. Solomon explained that according to the Supervisor of Elections, the last part of the letter
stating vote "Yes" for these things is not informational in nature. ]:t is political.

MARCH 3, 1998
Attorney Cherof advised that the language expressed by Ms. Solomon does not appear in the
publication. Tf that is what the Supervisor of Elections based her opinion on, she would be
incorrrect.
Mayor Taylor advised that he did not send out a letter that addresses only term limits. The
letter addressed all seven ballot questions. ]~t was an information letter. He would have liked it
to be more positive and political in nature. The City Attorney edited the letter and requested
that the Mayor be more conservative in his approach to make it informational.
Mayor Taylor said he researched this issue to make sure he was on legal ground. He read the
following Supreme Court decision on a similar case:
"The most we/ghty of patrons allegab'ons appears to be the fact that local
government agenc/es used publ/c funds and pubh'c resources to mount an
/nformat/ona/ campa/gn regard/ng the referendum. There were some crit/ca/
issues facing the commun/ty that needed to be addressed. The community
needed to know what those/ssues were, and it was important that we got that
informat/on out to the commun/ty, that we make those choices c/ear to the
commun/ty. Other w/tnesses test/t/ed that County or, ce equ/pment was used in
th/s campa/gn and that many County employees ass/sted at the proceeding
be/ow. Patrons' counsel argued that such acts were improper because they
v/o/ated the neutral forum of the election. The Court sa/d such a pos/b'on /s
tantamount to say/ng that government or, c/als may never use the/r of~ces to
express the opin/on about the best/nterests of the commun/ty s/mp/y because
the issue/s open to debate. A rule to that effect would render government
feckless. One duty of the democratic government is to lead the people to make
/nformed cho/ces through fa/r persuas/on. Local governments are not bound to
keep s/lent /n the face of controversial vote that w/Il have profound
consequences for the commun/t~. Leaders have both a duty and a right to say
wh/ch course of act/on they th/nk best, and to make fa/r use of the/r of~ces for
th/s purpose. The people e/ect government /eaders prec/se/y for th/s purpose. "
Mayor Taylor said he addressed all seven questions in his letter, and informed the public that
they would have the choice to vote "Yes" or "No". Tn the last sentence of the letter, he told the
people what a "Yes" vote would mean. Tn his opinion, this was an informational letter and he
will defend it. Mayor Taylor believes the City Commission should have spent more money to
promote this information to the public. Tn Mayor Taylor's opinion, he is not a candidate nor is
the City of Boynton Beach a political candidate. Therefore, there are no campaign funds
available for this purpose. Mayor Taylor is hopeful there will be more publicity on this subject
so that people know what they are voting for on March 10th,
Commissioner .laskiewicz advised that she and Vice Mayor Titcomb attended a workshop where
one of the issues dealt with ethics and charter changes. The participants were encouraged to
disseminate information. Commissioner .laskiewicz was in favor of a town meeting to discuss
these issues but realized that method would not reach the entire population. She feels the
residents have a right to know about something that will affect them in the future.

XZZ.B. Discussion on Zip Codes
Commissioner ]jaskiewicz reminded the Commissioners that approximately two years ago, she
made an announcement about a discussion with Postmaster Mays who agreed to accommodate
all of Boynton Beach with zip codes. Since that time, she has followed up with correspondence
confirming the conversation, and nothing has transpired. Residents have been expressing
concern about this situation because they are required to have Boynton Beach, Lantana and
Lake Worth in their addresses in order to receive their mail. Commissioner ]jaskiewicz is trying
to make an appointment with Mr. Breckenridge to discuss this matter.
Commissioner ]jaskiewicz requested the support of the Commissioners and reporters in the
audience to determine why our residents cannot get a Boynton Beach address.
Sandy Hu_a_a. 73 Cedar Circle, has resided in the Meadows for two years, She was told to
use Lake Worth or Lantana as her mailing address in order to have mail delivered correctly.

areas. Mr. Wolfe was advised that to do anything further, he would have to contact the Area
Manager in Atlanta, Georgia. He urged the Commissioners to help.
Commissioner .laskiewicz further advised that one of the County Commissioners recently
expressed concern because tax revenues are collected and distributed on the basis of zip codes.
Tf that is the case, it would have a serious impact on the City of Boynton Beach.
Mayor Taylor feels this problem needs to be brought to the attention of Representative Wexler

C. City Manager's Evaluation
Mayor Taylor reported that Kerry Willis has been City Manager for one year. At this time last
year, the City was in the process of implementing the goals and objectives of the Visions
conference. Several key management positions were vacant and there were key issues that
needed to be addressed. Some of those issues were controversial.
When Kerry Willis interviewed for the position, she acknowledged the challenges and felt her
job experience and knowledge were equal to the task. The following is a list of City Manager
Willis' accomplishments during the past 12 months:
She hired Bill Bingham as Fire Chief, and Milan Knor as Development Director. When he
passed away after only two months on the job, she hired Bulent Kastarlak. She also hired
Larry Roberts, Public Works Director.
· She took on Visions objectives and put together a task force that developed "Quick Victory"
ideas, Trees were planted in Cherry Hill, and we participated in Project America Clean-Up.
She has been involved with DOT on the bridge project. Because of City Manager Willis, we
will have underground utilities from the bridge. :In addition, we have the newest traffic
signals on Boynton Beach Boulevard and Ocean Avenue. She is working on a complete bike
path project that will unite all of the downtown and marina area.
· She originated the Citizens Action Center to receive and process complaints and respond
within 24 hours.
· She developed a program of putting department supervisors at City Hall in the Mall to
provide direct contact with the public for citizen input.
· She opened City Hall from 7:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. for business hours to make it more.
user-friendly.
She worked diligently to help the City acquire a lobbyist who was instrumental in obtaining
our high school. She has set up a design committee that is accepting design input from the
citizens about the high school.
· With the assistance of Hank Ackermann, Neighborhood Project Specialist, she has increased
the neighborhood associations dramatically.
She has undertaken a Pay and Classification Study in the City of Boynton Beach. This will
result in a new approach to union negotiations that will be non-controversial. This will help
to establish pay scales so that employees will know what they will be earning in years to
come.
· She reviewed and updated the Emergency Management Plan and did a practice run from
the Emergency Operations Center.

resulting in significant cost savings. She established and organized a retirement recognition
dinner dance that honored the employees who retired.

· She conducted a Town Meeting at City Hall in the Mall.
· She reorganized City departments that will result in a saving of $400,000 this year and $1.2
million within the next two to three years.
· She provides weekly written detailed reports to the Commissioners to describe what was
done during the week.
Mayor Taylor reminded everyone that City Manager Willis would be the first to admit that the
work accomplished was a team effort. She believes in team building and teamwork. The City
Manager is answerable to the residents, her staff and the City Commissioners. Her
performance has indicated service to all groups. Mayor Taylor rates City Manager Willis'
performance outstanding and recommends a salary increase of a minimum of 5.9% from
$85,000 to $90,000. Tn addition, City Manager Willis has been selected to attend an advanced
management school at Harvard. Only 1% of applicants nationwide are selected for this
training. As a bonus for performance, Hayor Taylor recommended that the City pay the cost of
tuition in the amount of $8,000 with the stipulation that if the IVlanager leaves the City's employ
for her own reasons for a period of two years following completion of this course, the tuition
cost would be prOrated.
Commissioner .laskiewicz was aware of the managerial evaluation provided. However, she
based her evaluation on the interview questions that were asked of City Manager Willis last
year. Tn every area that was addressed at that time, City IVlanager Willis carried through with
her responses. Commissioner .laskiewicz is also very pleased that the City's services have
improved without raising taxes. Tn addition, we have increased the City's reserve to 20%.

was in dire straits a year ago. When City Manager Willis joined the City, there was a house on
Seacrest Boulevard that needed to be removed. Within a short period of time, the house was
demolished. She is a team player and without her, all of the positives would not be obvious.
He thanked City Manager Willis for the past year and hopes there will be many more.
Vice Mayor Titcomb agreed with Mayor Taylor's remarks and acknowledged the fact that City
Manager Willis does not like to take credit for the things she does. His personal relationship
with City Manager Willis on a weekly basis has been very informative and gratifying. He will
support the Mayor's recommendations.
Commissioner Bradley advised that his comments are included in the evaluation that he would
give to City Manager Willis.
City Manager Willis thanked the Commissioners and reminded them that a tremendous team
effort went into all of the accomplishments over the year, Everyone has had a part in setting
the policy and steering the course in implementing the administrative direction and getting the
job done. Everyone of the employees deserves credit for caring and making a difference out in
the field. She thanked everyone.

D. Temporary Outdoor Sale of Merchandise
Staff has found a procedural inconsistency in the Code with respect to outdoor sale of
merchandise and special events. This was brought to staff's attention when a permit was
received in the Building Division for a tent for Home Depot for carpet sales in their parking lot
for a period of 17 days. The permit was properly denied based on the zoning code that allows
only outdoor retail sales by not-for-profit organizations. :In the C-3, C-4 and PCD zoning
districts, exterior storage or display of merchandise is permitted only if owned by the operator
of the business occupying the building on the property, and if the merchandise is the same type
sold inside the building. ~[n addition, these sales cannot exceed 18 hours per day for a
maximum of seven calendar days per year.
If this request is classified as a special event, the Code is silent. The Occupational License Code
conflicts with the zoning Code in that for the payment of a $140 license fee, the applicant is
allowed a grand opening, sidewalk sales, special promotion, festivals, carnivals, etc. Under that
umbrella, we have allowed art and craft shows sponsored by shopping centers and show and
festival promoters as well as outdoor sale of holiday merchandise.
Staff would like to amend the Code to address this conflict and the Home Depot situation. Staff
would like policy direction from the Commission regarding the following:

MEETING MINUTES
REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MARCH 3, 1998
Whether the Commission wishes to require Commission approval for special
events;
Whether the Commission wishes to restrict who can sell outdoor merchandise
(non-profit organizations vs. anyone with property owner's approval); and
Whether the Commission wishes to limit the outdoor sale of merchandise to only
holiday merchandise.
Staff recommends that the merchandise be limited to holiday merchandise that can be sold by
anyone with the property owner's approval. This would continue to allow the car and art
shows. This would also prevent unattractive merchandise from public view and would help to
prevent circumventing of the Occupational License fee that is based on the value of the
inventory in the building.
Commissioner Bradley questioned whether the term "holiday" has been defined.
Attorney Cherof advised that we would have to list specific holidays.
Ms. Heyden reported that after surveying other cities, she learned that only unincorporated
Palm Beach County has no restrictions.
Mayor Taylor requested that copies of the information Ms. Heyden had available on this issue
be forwarded to the Commissioners for review and discussion at the next meeting.
Commissioner .laskiewicz feels this request is impossible to approve because of the lack of
parking at this location. With the advent of Burger King and Discount Auto, it is very difficult to
find parking at Home Depot. Home Depot has a carpet department inside the store. Therefore,
they do not need a tent in the parking lot to sell additional carpet.
Ms. Heyden advised that this request was turned down based on the existing Code. This event
is scheduled for a week from Friday and the business owner needs to order the merchandise.
Bruce Black, 229 SW Ist Avenue, said this is not an extension of Home Depot's business.
No merchandise from inside the store is being brought outdoors for sale, The purpose of the
request is to sell Oriental rugs. The supplier offered Home Depot a good price to introduce the
new product line. There is no room available inside the store for this purpose.
Commissioner .laskiewicz pointed out that if this request is granted, much needed parking
spaces will be consumed by this tent sale. She cannot support approval of this request because
it is detrimental to the entire area.
Mayor Taylor suggested that Mr. Black contact Michael Morton to see if he can get authorization
to place the tent on the vacant lot.

TI of the LDRs to add definitions for terms pertaining to floating homes
and moorage, amending Chapter 20 of the LDRs and creating Article X,
"Floating Homes" and Article XT "Mooring Structures"
Attorney Cherof read Proposed Ordinance No. 098-11 by title only.
Attorney Cherof advised that on Page 3, Subparagraph 2, under Certification, there is a
requirement for the Commission to establish the initial fee for certification or recertification to a
dollar amount. He suggested that the Commission reserve that decision at this time and
indicate that the fee will be established by Resolution.
Commissioner 3askiewicz recalled that this issue arose when the Commission addressed some
concerns expressed by residents of a particular area. She questioned how those concerns
related to this Ordinance.
Attorney Cherof explained that the origin began with a single boat which is not specifically
addressed in this Ordinance. However, it is responsible for the concepts in this Ordinance.
When staff researched the Code, these concepts were not addressed. The particular boat is
moored in the Tntracoastal Waterway and beyond the jurisdictional powers of the City.
When Commissioner 3askiewicz questioned the locations where these vessels would be
acceptable, Attorney Cherof explained that the area that has been defined as permissable for
these vessels would be in any commercial marina lying in the C-3 or CBD zoning districts,
licensed yacht club or waterways adjacent to CBD.
Commissioner 3askiewicz was of the opinion that we were going to try to discourage all live
aboards. She is hopeful this will not open the door to floating homes. Furthermore, the
homeowners in the area have no protection.
Mayor Taylor advised that we are not trying to discourage live aboards that comply with the
Code. Commissioner Bradley further pointed out that we cannot arbitrarily outlaw something.
We are trying to get some teeth into a law that will allow Code Compliance to inspect these
vessels and cite them.
Attorney Cherof explained that with this Ordinance, we are establishing the proper legal
requirements for moorage and floating homes. Tn the future, staff will come back to the
Commission with restrictive Ordinances indicating what is not legal so that people occupying
vessels that are not in conformity with this Ordinance have a tool to use toward compliance.
Vice Mayor Titcomb said Section 2, Item "d" refers to inboard sewage devices. He questioned
whether this section is compatible with federal jurisdiction in terms of pump-out and holding
tanks. Attorney Cherof responded affirmatiVely.

3ames Hiriana, 728 NE 6~ Avenue, reminded the Commissioners that this came about
because of the houseboat that has been moored at the base of NE 9th Avenue. Several
attempts have been made to inspect the vessel. The owner is being abusive and this is not
good for the development of any waterfront property. The Commission should investigate this
further.
Herb Suss, a new resident of Boynton Beach, is a former boat owner. He feels the
Commission should investigate this issue carefully and move forward slowly. This is an issue
that can affect property values.
Bulent Kastarlak, Director of Development, said houseboats and vessels are not built like
houses. For that reason, the field inspectors may not be familiar with their construction
techniques. He would like an opportunity to meet with the City Attorney to expand this area
further. He feels it is difficult to predict how the Code can be applied. Mr. Kastarlak
recommended that the Commission table this item for two weeks.
Motion.
Vice Mayor Titcomb moved to postpone this until the next City Commission meeting to allow for
more staff input. Commissioner .laskiewicz seconded the motion.
Commissioner Bradley felt staff comments should have been provided much sooner. He felt it
was an embarrassment for the City to hear these comments at this point.
When Mr. Kastarlak said he did not have the marine standards available and could not get them
at a moment's notice, Attorney Cherof explained that the preparation of this document had
been ongoing for a number of weeks.
Mayor Taylor feels this is a first step. This Ordinance can always be amended as we move
forward and as staff provides recommendations.
Attorney Cherof said he was careful to touch only on basic building requirements and to link
those requirements to the Codes where the department is enforcing the Standard Building
Code. Adjustments can be made in the future.
Vice Mayor 'ritcomb explained that when this Ordinance first surfaced a month or two ago, he
was concerned that it would work against some of the Visions work and marina work in the
CBD. When he read this Ordinance, his concern was alleviated. Tn addition, he does not object
to postponing this item for two weeks to allow staff to offer additional input.

Erovn Girtman, 1920 NE 1st Lane advised that the additional expenses are expected to
come in next Monday. The current bills will be routed to Mr. Harvin tomorrow.
Mayor Taylor said it has been two years since the inception of this project. As of three or four
weeks ago, there was no obvious difference to the outside of the building even though it is now
understood that work was ongoing inside the structure. As of this week, there are visible
changes to the exterior. Mayor Taylor was concerned when he spoke with Mr. Harvin and
learned that very little money had been expended on this project. In addition, if the money is
not expended by March 31~t, it will be lost. He is concerned that this project will not meet the
completion date of March 31s~.
Mr. Matthews said he has commitments from everyone that the money will be spent and the
property will be renovated to a level the community will be proud of.
Mayor Taylor reminded Mr. Matthews of a previous discussion with him relative to a $4,000
electrical problem. He requested that Mr.. Matthews provide an update on that issue. Mr.
Matthews said that when he met with Mr. Harvin, adjustments were made within the building to
cover the cost of the lighting. They used the money differently. Mr. Girtman added that they
eliminated some of the cabinets and used those funds for the electrical problem. This was the
only deficiency and it has been taken care of within the budget. There are no financing
problems. Mr. Girtman said the project would be completed on March 31st.
Mayor Taylor said Mr. Matthews indicated during a previous conversation that the City was
presenting problems with permits for this building and this was resulting in delays.
Mr. Matthews said he has been to the Commission previously for the permit. The people who
were hired to get the permits thought they addressed issues with staff only to find out that
those issues needed to be readdressed. This presented time delays. Mr. Girtman added that
the planning and permitting processes duplicate themselves. The applicant is doing the same
thing over and over again. He appealed to the Commission to help them get through this
permitting process. He also added that there are other issues on this corner that he will bring
to the Commission. The trailer houses must be addressed. He appealed to the Commission to
help them get some trees on the corner of this site.
Mayor Taylor reported that a facility for Motorola in Quantum Park was built from shovel in the
ground to completion in less than six months. This building in question already existed. Both
projects had to go through the same processes.
Commissioner .laskiewicz reported that when Mr. Girtman called her to express his concerns
about the delays, she visited the Planning DivisiOn and relayed these concerns to the City
Manager. Mr. Girtman provided her with a chronology of the events. However, when an
inspection was made on several occasions, there were corrections that were required. Those
corrections are the responsibility of the applicant and they cause delays.
Mr. Girtman said this is a cumbersome process and it takes a long time to get through the
process.
